Hungarian Catholics, like elsewhere, are part of the worldwide Catholic Church under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. The Latin Church in the country is divided into 12 dioceses, including 4 archdioceses. In addition, there is a Latin territorial abbey at Pannonhalma and a separate sui juris particular Church for those who adhere to the Byzantine Rite, which is known as the Hungarian Greek Catholic Church.
